Lu Changsheng felt reassured after hearing those words.
Thus, he opened the second vial and transferred a second drop of Heavenly Spirit Water into the Spiritual Black Hole Dao Fruit.
The second drop of Heavenly Spirit Water indeed had some effect.
Golden light flared brilliantly.
But it gradually faded and became still again.
Gritting his teeth, Lu Changsheng decisively transferred the third drop of Heavenly Spirit Water into the Dao Fruit as well.
This time, the transformation was evidently greater than before.
The Dao Fruit began to tremble.
Faintly visible within the golden light was an awe-inspiring, dreadful power emitting faint yet terrifying energy. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
It was Infinite Divine Power!
Unfortunately, the effect of the third drop of Heavenly Spirit Water still didn’t last very long.
The Spiritual Black Hole Dao Fruit once again fell silent.
Even Lu Changsheng himself now sensed that something was amiss.
He looked toward the seven elders in the Divine Power Realm and couldn’t help but ask, "Senior brothers, this Heavenly Spirit Water does indeed work, but it seems far too little. Perhaps, with more Heavenly Spirit Water, my Dao Fruit could completely transform into Divine Power."
"May I ask if you still have any Heavenly Spirit Water left?"
Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s inquiry and seeing his hopeful gaze, the expressions of the seven Divine Power Realm elders turned a bit awkward.
Heavenly Spirit Water was incredibly rare.
Three drops had already been used up.
Under normal circumstances, three drops of Heavenly Spirit Water could produce three Divine Power Realm elders.
Finally, the seven elders gritted their teeth and said, "The Infinite Divine Passage Fruit is extraordinary indeed."
"To completely transform the Infinite Divine Passage Fruit, three drops of Heavenly Spirit Water are far from sufficient."
"Over the years, our Heavenly Sect of the Ancient Domain has relied on one Divine Power Realm elder after another exploring the Holy Land to amass some reserves."
"There are five remaining drops of Heavenly Spirit Water—we’ll give them all to you."
With that, the elders each took out their portions of Heavenly Spirit Water.
Only five drops of Heavenly Spirit Water were left.
Including the three used earlier, the entire reserves painstakingly accumulated by the Heavenly Sect of the Ancient Domain over generations consisted of just eight drops of Heavenly Spirit Water in total.
It took centuries to gather even these eight drops.
This was proof of just how precious Heavenly Spirit Water truly was.
"Thank you, senior brothers."
Lu Changsheng bowed respectfully and accepted the five remaining drops of Heavenly Spirit Water.
The Heavenly Sect of the Ancient Domain had gone above and beyond for Lu Changsheng.
They handed over the entirety of their accumulated wealth to him.
This was because the elders saw Lu Changsheng as one of their own, even as the hope of the Heavenly Sect of the Ancient Domain.
No matter the cost, they were determined to aid Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.
He continued transferring drop after drop of Heavenly Spirit Water into the Dao Fruit.
One drop, two drops, three drops, four drops...
As more and more Heavenly Spirit Water was used, Lu Changsheng could clearly feel its significant effects.
He even faintly sensed a new kind of power slowly emerging from within the Dao Fruit.
However, he also felt that the Dao Fruit required an enormous amount of energy.
A single drop of Heavenly Spirit Water contained overwhelming energy.
But it wasn’t enough.
Even after using five more drops of Heavenly Spirit Water, Lu Changsheng could still sense that the amount was barely a drop in the ocean.
Not just eight drops.
Even ten drops, twenty drops—those would likely still be insufficient.
With a "swish," Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.
The seven Divine Power Realm elders stared intently at him.
From Lu Changsheng, they could not sense any signs of the Dao Fruit’s transformation.
For a moment, their expressions were filled with disappointment.
Clearly, Lu Changsheng had failed.
The Divine Power Fruit had not transformed into Divine Power.
Some of the elders couldn’t help but speak, "Eight drops of Heavenly Spirit Water, and yet the Dao Fruit still hasn’t transformed into Divine Power? This... doesn’t make sense!"
"Indeed. In the Holy Land, some exceptionally gifted individuals are able to refine powerful Divine Power Fruits. Typically, they need no more than two or three drops—at most three or four—to transform their Dao Fruits into Divine Power. But now, Junior Brother Lu has used eight drops of Heavenly Spirit Water, and there isn’t even a glimmer of hope for transformation..."
"Perhaps we miscalculated. We really don’t fully understand what Infinite Divine Power represents. After all, our experiences in the Holy Land have not even brought us into contact with Great Divine Dao Fruits—how could we possibly comprehend the mysteries of Infinite Divine Power?"
"Indeed, the old man thinks that transforming Infinite Divine Power is not a simple task. It’s likely not a matter of just a few drops, or even dozens of drops of Heavenly Spirit Water. Infinite... Something that can be called ’Infinite’—how could it be ordinary?"
"Perhaps, the secrets of Infinite Divine Power will have to be explored by Junior Brother Lu himself within the Holy Land. Furthermore, if Junior Brother Lu wishes to transform his Dao Fruit into Infinite Divine Power, he will likely have to gather Heavenly Spirit Water on his own within the Holy Land..."
The elders admitted their "limited understanding."
They had underestimated the difficulties involved in the transformation of the "Infinite Divine Power" Dao Fruit.
In fact, they didn’t even fully comprehend what "Infinite Divine Power" truly represented.
They only knew that Infinite Divine Power was a rare and extraordinary phenomenon in the Holy Land.
Few were capable of refining an Infinite Divine Power Dao Fruit.
"Where is the Holy Land? I am willing to venture there to seek out Heavenly Spirit Water."
Lu Changsheng spoke without hesitation, his voice resolute and unwavering.
He had already consumed the entire foundation of the Heavenly Sect of the Ancient Domain.
Eights drops of Heavenly Spirit Water had been completely used up.
Under normal circumstances, that amount could have nurtured the rise of eight Divine Power Realm cultivators!
Lu Changsheng could not continue to rely on the elders to supply him with Heavenly Spirit Water.
He needed to rely on himself!
Now, there was only one path left.
